Ok, don't worry :-). I'll have to add users by any other method.

Yes, I got the SMS and I have root access. But... I think we'd better
making it by hardware: I mean, the best thing to redirect a port is
telling the router that server 81.6.251.10 to do that. I assume the
router is a "stuff" that you can touch (not a computer) and it's able to
see the IP 10.1.33.18 directly. If the router is not hardware and lime
is the system that has the wireless card, it cannot be made by hardware.

But don't worry if you have no time, I'll *cut* the shell for my own
user "javier" @ lime to only allow to execute the command "ssh", or I'll
create a user called "null" or something like that. It'll be sure
enough.

Of course, those accounts are only for the core of the admin espiral
team (no more than 2 accounts :-)) and we are not planning to atack
chinatown with high load software :-). 

Another question: Which software do you use to read mail @ chinatown?
I'd like something like mutt, able to run on the command line, to be
able of reading root messages. I usually admin systems, so I'm get used
to read logs and I have some Perl scripts to do that. I'll also email
you if something smells strange (that will give us more security).

Well, thanks for replaying really fast :-).
